Rudi Garcia criticizes Belgium national team medical staff

Former Belgium national team coach Rudi Garcia has criticized the medical management of the squad following his departure. Garcia stated that his exit was not driven by financial terms, but rather by a desire for improvements in the working conditions and medical staff.

Garcia cited several specific instances of mismanagement during the World Cup, including the handling of Jérémy Doku, who required emergency care despite earlier medical assessments, and Youri Tielemans, who suffered from overuse injuries. He also expressed frustration regarding Charles De Ketelaere, who played despite significant knee swelling, and Zeno Debast, whose rehabilitation did not meet the medical guarantees provided to the coach.
